Yes its through KODI.

Have not tried playing the 4k movies directly sa LG, will try later if kaya iplay, then will compare the difference.

Netflix 4k and Dolby Vision wala namang problem sa black. Was watching the whole Luke Cage season, laging gabi ang scene wala naman problem.
Try native Himedia player din sir

Sirs,

Purchased my Himedia Q10 Pro  2 weeks ago in Greenhills. Just to clarify, our unit is an international version release and not the Chinese version, am I correct?

TIA.  ;)

Can't say for certain for your case, but likely if the one who sold it to you ordered it online.

When I ordered my stock I specified  all International version kaya futeko.com ang firmware I load.

I think they mentioned the differences ng hw ng local Chinese q10 pro vs international sa futeko.com , kaya futeko fw will brick a china q10 pro.  HTH future assistance better dun Lang as Himedia support tips and tricks

Thanks.

I think my Q10 PRO is an international release version because storage is at 16 GB compared to the Chinese version of 8 GB.

Sir,

Is it safe to use skycable digibox power cord to Q10 pro unit?  They're both 12V and has same plug size. Or dapat yung para sa himedia lang?

THANKS.

If 12v and it says at least 2A or higher should be ok

As with other devices, the storage presentation order during discovery have fixed order of USB port scanning .

Keep these in mind when you have multiple disk towers.

I have 1 32TB Mediasonic Proraid
And two towers of 4Tb x 8 bay raids attached to my main Himedia q10 pro.

You would think a Sata will be discovered first then the USB devices next.

The trick is to remember which USB disk plugs to what port so Kodi can cleanly update the library with the correct drive paths sda , sdb,sdc

Dealing with changing disks :
If the order of presentation of disk is an issue
Or you want to use multiple disk to be presented as  single video source , add the video source per path

Example

/Nmt/sda2/movies
/Nmt/sdb2/movies
:
:
/Nmt/sdf2/movies

Video source : 64TB movies remux

This way when you update library it will read all disk contents on /movies path , and "merge" them under one video source

I just bought a H8 +, pag gamit ko ung KODI app, may delay ung Audio. But if I run the media player or netflix wala namn. I used all audio source na (LPCM, HDMI and SPDIF) pero delay pag Kodi.

Is it because of the ver 17? If I reinstall Kodi, will the preinstalled apps in Kodi be removed?

thanks

Nung gamit ko ung local file (Via wired LAN and USB) ko, i tried both DTS and AC3 version files, both may delay. then when i tried streaming via EXODUS, ganun pa din, d ko alam kung ano ang audio track nun. pero i tested Dr strange na 1080.

Isip ko first is baka ung soundbar ko ung may issue, so i dineretso ko sa TV, ganun pa din..

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll asked Abacus and requested if it is possible to upgred to Q5 pro, they said "yes".

My question na lnag... specs wise, parang mas ok ang H8 plusvs Q5 pro, bakit mas prefer nyo ang Q5 pro? regardless of the audio out of sync issue?

Baka the number of core processors in literature misleads you

Which unit has better video quality?  Specifically with playing video files Q5/Q10 have the best image quality of any Android box pero sakin Lang yan ha?

H8 is good, maybe  equivalent to Amlogic S812 / MiniX X8-H

  Hisilicon chipset in Q5/Q10  is designed specifically for media boxes and is the best, for me.

Hi! What's the advantage of having a 16gb flash memory over 8gb of Q5? In terms of PQ and SQ,  is the Q5 at par with Q10? And besides the memory, what else are the differences between the Q5 and Q10 pro? Thank you!

Unpack at palakpak list: (feel free to edit)
1. Buy Himedia q5 or q10
2. Unpack and connect q5/q10 to wireless or wired network (I prefer wired)
3. Check update and let unit download online or use a USB fat32 stick
4. Click kodi with you disk plugged (plug USB 3 port)
5. Update library by creating video source that stores multiple paths
/sda2/Iso
/sda2/bdmv
/sda2/remux
/sda2/mkv

Video source name :Toys4geeks.32TB

6. Go to the video source and click menu to set content to movies. Keep in mind at this point ensure each move has name (year) format to assist the movie scraper service
7.  update library
8. Backup library to disk

Hi tanong lang mga sirs. Noob talaga ako sa mga techie stuff hehe.

Im comparing this to the unblock tech. Yun white player

Does this have ubtv? Where you can have the tv channels sa korea, hong kong, etc.? Are all these android players the same in terms of these? I just have to install sa menu?

What tv channels does this himedia have?

Another question is about remux or bd iso. Ano yan? Ive been downloading these big files recently. Does it mean when i go into thiese files meron automatic bd menu? Like play movie, scene selection etc?

Thanks a lot

I upgraded my Q10 Pro to the latest firmware with Kodi 17 rc, then updated through the Google Play Store to official Kodi version 17.1 and now almost all streams result in choppy/stuttering playback. I tried downgrading back to Kodi 16 and there are hardly any HD streams available since the providers mostly migrated to Kodi 17.  :(

I was able to improve things by unchcecking "enable hardware acceleration". Though it still doesn't look as fluid as it should be.
